What People Say or Want Does not Matter, Christ Matters

When you realize people are gossiping about you remember they did it to Jesus Christ too.
Matthew 9:1-8, Mark 2:23-28, Luke 6:1-5, Matthew 10:25 and more.
When Christ in you leads you to a particular calling you can be sure there will be those who judge it without knowing the particulars and without interest in finding out.
Those who love their legalism will judge us for not following their rules that are not Scriptural as well as doing what we do with wrong motives.
Legalism is following rules God never made and requiring others to follow them too. Obedience to God's Word is searching His Word for the truth and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us to obey Him.
We do not obey the culture around us whether it is in church gatherings or out of church gatherings. We obey Christ Who lives in us.
As we muddle through these end times we will find very little support from others. Most people in churches will not understand what we are doing and will even believe it is wrong. Sadly most "Christians" who attend churches do not know the Bible and what they think they know they do not understand.
Only those who are seeking Christ, the Holy Spirit in them, will be able to discern truth from error and it will lead to a life of aloneness. Notice I said aloneness not loneliness. We are never alone when Christ lives in us as long as we seek Him in all things.
There can be no greater companion than the Holy Spirit of Christ. He is everything we need.
I have been more lonely in crowds and among family than I ever have being alone with Christ. No person can offer the love that Christ offers and no person can understand the things of God except those who have the Holy Spirit living in them.
Philippians 3:8-12
"8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
11 if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus."
Hallelujah!!!!
